Weak Rupee Drives Mobile, TV, Telecom Price Hikes from January

• Mobile phone and LED TV prices are expected to increase significantly from January due to the weakening Rupee against the Dollar and rising import costs.
• LED TV prices may rise by 3-4% from January, driven by high reliance on imported components like chips and open cells, with the dollar value exceeding Rs. 90.
• Telecom companies are increasing prepaid tariffs and reducing plan validities to improve profitability, following a slowdown in revenue growth.
• Vodafone Idea has raised annual and 84-day plan prices, while Bharti Airtel increased its minimum monthly recharge, with more hikes anticipated.

Why It Matters: Get ready for increased prices on TVs, mobiles, and phone plans starting January.
